Eight students from The Vale Academy were selected to represent North Lincolnshire against Hull, East Riding and North East Lincolnshire in the Humberside Schools’ Secondary Cross Country Championships.

The girls all did well but the boys stole the show in the event at Hull University Playing Fields, Inglemire Lane in Hull.

Joe Hare finished second and Reece Wray (Year 10) 11th. Reece received a selection letter for the English schools’ National Cross Country Competition.

Ghostly goings-on spooked visitors to The Vale’s new building in a student-inspired Halloween special.

Storytellers, played by sixth form drama students each with a ghostly link to the academy, led the audience around the school.There was a 19th century asylum in the drama studio, a whodunit murder mystery in the gym, a Victorian school and a gory, blood spilling, accident-prone scene.Spooky Tales was a promenade performance set across nine settings, with the audience moving from one to another.

Fantastic memories were forged when geography students from The Vale visited Italy.

The packed four-day agenda to the Bay of Naples included trips to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii, volcano Mount Vesuvius, picturesque Sorrento, Roman remains at Herculaneum, and a tour of the volcanic Phlegraean fields area.

Visit leader Richard Hughes said it was a memorable few days.

“The students were amazing and a credit to their parents and academy,” he said.
